Ok two very easy one because my two teams have pretty much the most unique mascots that I've ever heard of for sports teams (obviously I'm not talking about dumb ones like the Orange or Crimson Tide or something because obviously no one knows or cares what those things are -- the key is to also be cool on top of being unique). Luchadores and Yeti. First of all there is the Tijuana Luchador. I don't think he ever got an official name, or at least I can't remember one in my time with the team, but I think it's about time that we chose one. I think that, hands down, he would have to be named Nacho (which is of course short for Ignacio), because that is the name of one of the greatest Luchadores ever as portrayed by jack Black in Nacho Libre. Also, to top if off, that movie character is easily the most commonly used gif of a luchador around the league. As far as the Yeti, I know that schwarznarr is trying to dive into the lore of our particular mascot, but I realized not too long ago that not a lot of the team, including the current GMs are very familiar with the original Yeti mascot: snowcone yeti, so-called because the logo actually looked like a snowcone (i think). Anyways, having a mythical create as a mascot is awesome and furthermore, there are actually quite a lot of fun and silly yeti gifs that you can choose from. This is important because gifs bring the team together. And how many second line gifs or liberty gifs do you think there are? Sure, you can get creative, but that defeats the purpose. The yeti is truly something the team can rally around.
